We are excited to share some wonderful news with our Harmony DC community. On Thursday, December 4th, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) released the annual School Report Card, and Harmony DC PCS has made significant progress. This year, our overall performance scores improved by 50% — a remarkable achievement and a testament to the hard work of our students, staff, and families.
These results reflect the strong learning environment we continue to build together. From academic growth to student support, we are proud to see our collective efforts paying off.
Thank you for being a vital part of the Harmony DC community.

Beginning December 2nd, our school will launch a 12-Day Literacy and Kindness Countdown. Each classroom will open a daily advent gift box and complete a literacy-based or kindness challenge at the end of the day.
After completing the first challenge, each class will receive a Reading Tree. They will earn a new piece of the tree each time they complete a daily challenge. The goal is to build the full tree by the end of the 12 days.
You will see daily photos of students holding their completed work posted on ClassDojo. We encourage you to support your child’s class by liking or commenting on their posts. Your participation encourages students and builds excitement throughout the school.
The class with the most completed challenges and strongest display of work and tree progress will receive a prize.
Thank you for partnering with us as we celebrate literacy & kindness

It’s hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is here, which also means we have passed one-third of the school year. Good times fly by quickly.
As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all of our families. Thank you for your continued partnership, trust, and support. Working together, we create a strong and caring school community where our students can learn, grow, and thrive.
We are grateful for the encouragement you give your children, the collaboration you show our staff, and the vibrant spirit you bring to our school every day. Your involvement truly makes a difference.
Please remember that there will be no school on Monday and Tuesday next week in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
On behalf of the entire Harmony DC team, I wish you and your loved ones a joyful, restful, and safe Thanksgiving. Enjoy this special time with family and friends.

This Friday, November 21st, our entire school will participate in our Fall in Love with Reading Cozy Day. During this event, all students and staff will read together at the same time as we continue strengthening our schoolwide culture of literacy. Older students will read to younger students, and adults will join in as well so that every scholar is part of a shared reading experience.
Please send your child to school in cozy attire, pajamas, warm sweaters, comfortable pants, or any clothing that helps them feel relaxed and ready to enjoy a good book.
Students are welcome to bring a favorite book from home, and each child will receive a bookmark and a small treat to enjoy during our reading time.
Thank you for your continued partnership in making reading a joyful experience for all of our scholars.
